So, assuming the requisite checks clear, today I must return the computer-from-above to the person who actually purchased it. I really hope the 18-year old lackey who inherits it enjoys playing around with it, because it could have saved my financial ass. I wish I could just bow out gracefully, but I cannot. Hope you enjoy it, you fuck.
Our Airport Base Station is on its last legs. I am afraid it will pass on any day now. Its reception is getting more and more inconsistant. Chances of recovery are slim.
So, I broke down and decided to get a personalized license plate this year. Somebody at the DMV gave me this URL where I could check different license plates combos for availability and now I can’t get enough of playing with it… go try it now. Try ALTRNTE and FUCKMS and other things… 🙂
Oh yeah, and its done in PHP and its real fast, go figure.
Fleischer said Bush will focus on “the longer term (solutions), rather than the political.”
This whole article is filled with rhetoric about long term solutions for the gas price hike. He refuses to put price controls on and even more suprisingly he refuses to eliminate the federal gasoline tax which is almost 19 cents per gallon. He’s so excited about tax cuts, so where is he on this?
What exactly are these long term solutions that he keeps touting that are so much better than the alternatives above? He hasn’t proposed any as far as I can see and I doubt they will be the kind of long term solutions that America really needs. Someone so ladden to the oil industry for financing has very little incentive to promote newer, cleaner, renewable technologies. I know these have been buzz words for the left for years, but it is really something that has to be done and I think most people would realize that this enormous price hike could be the kind of kick in the ass that the United States needs. Nothing short of the world actually running out of petroleum is going to make Bush realize we need another way to fuel our vehicles and keep the lights on.
I’d pay for Google, wouldn’t you? I almost always find what I’m looking for when I use it, and I use it to find just about anything.
BMW is making these short “films” with some really great directors, including my personal favorite Wong Kar-Wai (I know, I’m a whore for auteurism). Right now only John Frankenheimer’s is available, but Ang Lee’s opens on the tenth. The first one is really good, but I recommend a fast connection because they are shot on 35mm and displayed in a widescreen format, so a modem doesn’t really do it justice.
So I ordered ‘Bedazzled’ tonight via PPV, partly because my wife put my son to bed and fell asleep (she probably wouldn’t want to watch it), and partly ’cause Elizabeth Hurley is in it. Okay, so those two reasons aren’t so far apart… but anyway. So it wasn’t that bad. It was entertaining and relatively funny, which is just about all you can hope for with PPV. I mean, it wasn’t Memento or anything, but what is, really.
I had this theory after the elections ended that two things would happen. The first was there would be a lot of great comedy, so far I have been wrong on that account. The second was that their would be a lot of angry punk rock. Fifty percent isn’t bad.
This is a pretty scary but still very interesting report about the first genetically modified kids in existence.
Not too bad shockwave anime/ation… Pretty gory, so not for the kids, and not as purely entertaining as the stick figure fighting, but decent. Via usr/bin/girl.
